The adorable foal set to be the star of Sunday's game

Budweiser debuts new Super Bowl ad showing the life of iconic Clydesdale from just two weeks old

..This year's Budweiser Super Bowl ad isn't funny or sexy, but you just might shed a tear.

For decades, Anheuser-Busch has used its famous Clydesdales in Super Bowl ads for Budweiser. Instead of a herd of majestic hoof-stomping steeds thundering across a valley floor, this year's 60-second ad centers on the bond an adorable Clydesdale foal shares with his trainer.

The latest star is barely two weeks old. A foal born January 16 at Anheuser-Busch's Warm Springs Ranch near the mid-Missouri town of Boonville is featured in an ad that will appear in Sunday's game between the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers and AFC champion Baltimore Ravens.

Great commercial!

Best one since the 9/11 one in which the horses go to NY and kneel down.

I cried through the whole thing. Watched it several times and cried more each time. I need to stop watching this.

It’s about time they returned to a Clydesdale-centric commercial. The last two years, the new owners and new agency got too cutsie and seemed to forget what worked. Remember that stupid Western Tiny Dancer one? This one is great. My fave will always be the “I won’t tell if you won’t” one.

Thanks for the ping. How did you remember? :-)

Just when I think the Bud commercials can't get any better they do.
